E. E. SLOSSON.This is the fourth installment of anarticle written in the Independentmagazine by Dr. E E. Slosson on theUniversity of Chicago. The next in­stallment will appear in tomorrow'sissue of The Daily Maroon.1 This is the division of the collegeinto two sections of somewhat dis­similar methods of instruction anddiscipline, here called the Senior col­lege and the Junior college. The tra­ditional four-class system is obvious­ly breaking down and cannot be main­tained much longer anywhere. Itscarefully cultivated enmities, its rig­idly enforced barriers and its lock­step progression have made it an ac­knowledged nuisance and an impedi­ment to educational advance in de­sirable directions. The universitieshave become too large for the classesto form friendship groups; the elec­tive system .has broken the alignmentand the pressure of professionalschools has started cleavage planes atright a�l� . to- those of the classes.The present movement for puttingpass and honor students on differen­tial gearing will be the end of· it.Whede a majority of the students fin­ish the college course in three yearsor drop out of it at the end .of·two totake professional work, the old classdistinctions become meaningless.But although the University ofChicago was the first to recognizefrankly the necessity of abandoningthe oid four-class system and the firstto attempt the formation of newgroupings, it has not succeeded insolving the problem. Conditions thereare as chaotic as anywhere. The oldregime has gone and the new has notcome. Some ghosts of the past lin­ger about the institution. The classpresidents of non-existent classes, forexample, and certain grotesquely dis­guised figures who are to be seen inthe fall doing stunts on the campusat the dictation of those w'1o in theirown language 'are called "three-quar­ters men," but elsewhere are calledsophomores. Some prophecres of thefuture are to be seen in the Juniorand Senior colleges, but these aremore conspicuous in the cataloguethan in the' life of the undergraduates.The Senior colleges especially are asort of legal fiction, for the studentshasten through or skip through, inorder to enter the professionalschools, and are reluctant to enterthem The title of "associate," whichis conferred on completion of the Jun­ior college, is not esteemed sufficient­ly valuable to induce the students toclear up all their back work in' thelower colleges as promptly as theymight.It i" upon the organ'zarion "of theJunior colleges. comprising the firsthalf of the undergradtr-+c course, thatattention has been chiefly concentrat­ed. For the last five years this qucs­!;nn has been arf ivcly, even passion­ately discussed. According to thepresent plan there is :1 double divisionof this part of the student body, bycourses and hy se'lt�� T]. is giveseight groups, known specifically asArts college (men), Arts college(women), Literature college (men).(Continued on P�y.e :n JUNIOR COMMInEES· APPOINTEDExecutive, Social and Athletic Com­mittees Named-Latter an Innova­tion-:MeyerS Head of Social Com­mittee-Straube Athletic Chairman.The officers of the Junior class yes­terday announced the appointment ofthe class committees.

This commit­tee, composed of :\Iiss Stillman, La­tham and Fridstein, will act on thesuggestion of General Chairmen Whit­field and Orchard that the financecommittee be subdivided and enlargedto include representatives from theseveral big departments of the Uni­versity.To Subdivide Finance Committee."A large general committee of theUniversity:' said Whitfield, "and subcommittees from the Law school,:\Iedical school and Divinity schoolwould make the work of selling thetickets more thorough."It is planned to have a tag day onTuesday, February 1, on which dayevery member of the University willbe approached to buy a ticket for thedance and will be tagged. The tagswill be attached free to indicate thatticket, but 110 one will be asked toticket, hut no one will bca skcd topay for a tag.Miss McDowell to Speak?Miss :\Iary E. �lcDowell of the Set­tlement house has been asked to ad­dress the chapel meetings ouring theweek preceding the tag day and thedance. This is expected to arousemuch interest in the dance and aidthe work of the finance committee indisposing of the tickets.Captains of all teams at the Uni­versity of Iowa receive a star in ad­dition to their letter.

The play,which was produced 'with great suc­cess in London, was written by MissMarion Sibyl Hamilton and gives aconvincing picture of the .erring mas­culine and his inability to successful­ly pit his intellect against his bet­ter half, quarter and eighth, who, inthe persons of active suffragettes.demonstrate plainly' the necessity' of"votes for women."Miss Harriet Grim, who will be re­membered for her exceJ1ent work indramatics and oratory, will take aleading part, and the rest of the cast,which has not been definitely decid­ed upon, will include many of theprominent llidway satellites.

"COl 'Il�S have been se­cured," said she, 'a.id here has beena sufficient guarsn.ee ): patronage tojustify nuite an claborae production."Although it is a comedy and weare treating the. theme humorously.'said lliss Grim last evening, "ouraim is quite serious and we hope towin as many to OUi cause 'here ",,-:�'!1'How the Vote \Yas \Von' as the comedy did when it W;15 �>:�n so success­fully in England."This is the fir .. t �:me the play hasbern given in this country.DR.

This, however. seemsto be a natural instinct, such as leadsfarmer boys, who have been workinghard all the week, to play baseballwhen they come to town on Satur­day. and leads New Yorkers. whohave been jolted in trolley cars allthe week. to go to Coney Island inorder to he worse jolted on a scenicrailway. But I could not see how at­tendance on this particular lecturepromoted social unification any morethan any other, or why-since Pro­fessor McClintock uttered no wordsthat would bring a' blush to the .cheekof the tenderest maiden+-it was ne-cessary to insist on the separation ofthe young merr.and women who a fewhours before had been sitting side byside i� that room Iistening to a chem-istry lecture.The inequality in the size of thecolleges and the shifting about of stu­dents interfere with the clear defi­nition of these subdivisions. In theautumn of 1907-8 the colleges variedin size from 34 in the College of Arts(women) to 182 in the College ofScience (men), and five-sixths of thestudents originally registered in theCollege of Philosophy (commerceand administration) change their reg­istration to the course in Literature.In short, the horizontal division ofthe University into Junior and SeniorColleges has been practically accom­plished. but the perpendicular subdi­vision" of these into eight Colleges-has not been successful. probably be­cause the natural cleavage plans havenot been hit upon. I t is very fortun­ate for the University that PresidentHarper' was thwarted in his effort tomake this system rigid and perma-nent by embodying it into the archi­tectural plans for the new quadran­gles. Buildings constructed and ar­ranged for this purpose would nowonly five years after the system wasadopted. be quite inadequate and in-convenient. These plans are stiltheld up. and it is to be hoped thatthey will he until their objectionablefeatures. especially these segregatedcolleges. with their independent class­rooms and laboratories. are elimin­ated. The first of a series of articles,"The Excavations in Palestine," by)lr. D. D. Luckenbill of the depart­ment of semirics. appeared in theJanuary issue of the Biblical Worldjust off the University press. Thearticle takes up the early history ofPal, .. st ine in the light of the excava­tions which have taken place there inthe la .. t twenty years. In the begin­ning the writer touches on the his­tory of the geographical di\'isions ofwhich Palestine is a part. leading upto a discusvion of the history of Pal­estine itself.Concerning the pre-historic inhabi­tants. the excavations of Mr. Macalis­ter at Gezer have given the most con­siderable information.

C.The writer states that "it is evidentthat the people of early Palestinemust have reached a high stage ofcivilization and have been exceeding­ly prosperous." The second articlewill take up the origin of the religionof I srael in the same light.The Young Women's Christianleague gave a reception in the Leagueroom of Lexington hall yesterdayafternoon for the purpose of promot­ing interest in the mission and Biblestudy classes for the present quarter.A number of the members of the The Recognized Standardlastalled In tile University of CbicaIO BuUdlnlsComplete Systems for all Methods of Heatinlleague spoke on various phases of theadvantages of the work done by theextra classes recently announced andthe regular courses on the curriculum.)Iiss Helen Hendricks presided atthe meeting. and urged the women tostudy the Bible so that they mightknow definitely what Christianity hasto offer to the heathen, "One of the Hot Water T anlt R�u1atorsRedUci.g Valves for Air, Water.

Professor McLaughlinis interested in both universities. Hehas held his present position in Chi­cago since 1906, Before that he wasa member of the faculty of the Uni­versity of llichigan, and he is also agraduate of that institution, havingreceived his A. B. there in 1882. In1885 he received the degree of bach­elor of law from lIichigan, and in1905 llichigan conferred upon himthe honorary title of master of arts.So far only two judges have beenchosen, as, announced last Friday inThe Daily llaroon.

Taylor of Fort \Vayne.Michigan Team All New Men.The lIichigan Daily reports thattheir negative team, which is com­posed of J. G. H. Black. S. Blumros­en and A. T. lIcKean, is working hardto defeat Chicago. None of thesemen has 'ever taken part in an inter­collegiate debate before. The Dailyexpresses considerable optimism, stat­ing that "out of the 34 debates whichMichigan has engaged in in the past�he has won 25. This is a percentageof 73, and it is believed the resultsthis year will raise rather than low­er that figure.", Meanwhile both Chicago teams areworking steadily. The main speechesare all completed and the men, withthe aid of former debaters, are nowworking on form and rebuttal. Hoov­er of last year's team is the latest toappear. He came out last night andhelped both teams in their formalpractice debate.The negative team travels up toNorthwestern and meets the Purpleaffirmative team at the same time theMichigan and Chicago teams .areclashing in �[andel hall. The ques­tion is, "Resolved, That the experi­ence of the United States has shownthat the protective tariff should con­tinue to be the national policy."FENCIBLES TO HOLDDEBATE WITH SOPHSOF NORTHWESTERN "U."At the banquet of the Fenciblesheld in the private dining room ofthe Commons last night, a debatewith the sophomores of N ortwesternuniversity was arranged, the subjectto be "The Income Tax."
